Hit-and-run fatal wreck on I-40 in Benton Co.

The Tennessee Highway Patrol is seeking the public's help in locating a vehicle and driver that may be connected to a fatal hit-and-run crash on Interstate 40.

Carol Ann Williamson, 56, of Huntington, WV, was driving a 2003 Pontiac Vibe westbound on I-40 at mile marker 128 about 1:10 a.m. Thursday when an unknown vehicle hit her in the rear driver side.

The impact caused Carol Ann Williamson's car to spin off the roadway, strike a culvert and overturn several times. The at-fault vehicle did not stop.

Alice Williamson, 83, also of Huntington, WV, was a passenger in the car and was killed. Carol Ann Williamson was transported to a local hospital.

The preliminary investigation indicates that the suspect vehicle may have been a tractor-trailer.

There were also two people injured in a crash of two tractor-trailers about 5:20 a.m. near the original crash scene. One of those trucks had a ruptured fuel tank.

Anyone who may have witnessed the crash or has any information about the wreck is urged to contact the Tennessee Highway Patrol Jackson District Office at 731-423-6635 or dial *THP (*847) on a mobile device.

There are five days to go until the total solar eclipse crosses from the west coast to east coast, coming right through Middle Tennessee. For some, the experience brings tales of folklore and religious meaning.
